Hey guys! Welcome back to Advent Calendar Season! This one got me a little heated, just as it did last year! There is basically no value whatsoever and in my opinion there is no reason to ever purchase this advent calendar but I would love to hear your thoughts! So sorry for the confusion on some of the prices, numbers are not my thing lol but I do show the exact cost of everything and how much you could buy it for directly off the website compared to how much the advent calendar changes at the end of the video. Let me know all of your thoughts! Love ya💖
The K&J families egos are soooo huge that they think their sub-par inferior products are wonderful and consumers will pay and not question the value. I'm heated too. This Advent calendar and their "beauty products" are horrendously ugly in every way. Had to get that off my chest. Aaanyway, thanks for the video showing us how awful it is so we don't have to! Love ya!
The misprinted ingredient list on the lip gloss is probably why it ended up in an advent calendar. I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up seeing it rattling around in subscription boxes soon. It can’t be sold conventionally without a full ingredient list, but it can be put in a set if the consumer is directed to the website for ingredients. Its a lot cheaper than reprinting packaging or printing slips/stickers to put in/on the boxes.
exactly this and this is a huge reason i'll never buy one - i have allergies and i need to know what's in my stuff BEFORE buying it, and if the exact items/ingredients aren't listed on the listing for the calendar (which makes it less fun because surprises...) there's absolutely no chance i'd buy it
I would not spend 1 cent of my money to contribute to the Kardashians pockets. Their greed is disgusting! The best part of this box....You presenting it us!
As a person who stays at home and has no friends. Every time I watch these videos I feel like I’m with my bestie and we’re just talking trash. I love it
Your anger at this calendar was perfection! You tend to be so forgiving and nice, even in the face of blatant nonsense (oatmeal, anyone?), so seeing you absolutely lose it at the cheap, terry cloth headband was incredible. I hope you're able to make your money back with your videos this season, because man, that's such a rip off! Loving the vids as always, and I hope you have/had a wonderful anniversary!
I think the thing that gets me is the fact that Kylie is a billionaire and yet she can't lower her profit margins for 12 products sold through the advent calendar to make this worth it. I could maybe understand if there were exclusive shades or a special sneak peek at unreleased products to try ahead of time but she's not even doing that.
She isn’t a billionaire. That was blown up massively. Her company, had made a billion in sales at that point. Unless she had no wages/warehouses/production facilities/bills in her workplaces/ products to buy/transport costs/insurance payments, she didn’t actually make 1 bil. Her fans blew it up. She’s never released her net worth, everything is speculative.
@@kirstybrown1185Regardless, she's incredibly rich- whether she's a billionaire or a multi-millionaire is irrelevant. She can afford to slightly lower her profit margins to provide an actual value for customers that buy this advent calendar.
@@kirstybrown1185 So just a multi millionaire from a filthy rich family then? Poor girl. Basically a saint for selling overstock for fantasy prices in a disappointing calendar...
She can’t necessarily do that for a couple of reasons, the company relies on revenue to pay for employees, production, offices, etc. also the company needs to maintain a specific valuation and for that she needs to bring in net profit. Lastly I think 40% of the company is owned by Coty so I’m sure they have invested interest in margins, 40% interest im assuming lol
That lipstick actually looks like it was made for you. Mia maples recently did a video on color matching and I feel like this is your color. The tones in this lipstick are bringing out all of the amazing features in your face.
I think if i owned a cosmetics company, I would use my advent calender to launch new products for the upcoming year... That way every door is exciting... And people can try the stuff they want to wear for the coming year
I’d say P.Louise is the runaway winner for that for me, none of the products in the advent calendar were available anywhere else and it was all inside a big twinkly pink dream house - I couldn’t have asked for more 😁😁! I’d be so disappointed if I would have got the Kylie Cosmetics one, that was ridiculous!
I love your rage because I feel it too and I'm in the UK, so delivery charge will likely be negligable. These people are shameless in their blatent mickey taking of the general public and, more importantly, their fans, though why they have them is beyond me. What a joke but thank you for going through the pain and confirming this is something we don't want.
There's just something so soothing about you righteously telling off these companies for their shoddy advent calendars. My blood pressure has never been better. I love advent calendar season with you.
I still use my launch 1 original palette. I’ve hit pan on every shade, they work perfectly. It’s fine not to support someone you don’t like but y’all just want to hate lol
@@StealingSunsetsthank you for saying this because yes I don't support them nor will I ever buying anything from them but I will never hate because it's dumb as rock's. I felt the same way towards Kat Von D love her strongly supported her cosmetics while she still owned it and everyone hated on her even would talk trash to me & about her meanwhile I am ,Ike good for you buddy for hating on wasting that energy of yours to hate on someone who has no clue you exist but I will support and keep loving what I love.. 🤷🏻♀️🤭💯
Fascinating how fans will defend their multi millionaire cash grab buddies that wouldn't want to touch their poor butts even if they knew (or cared) they existed. You try to bring this narration that people not supporting them are just haters that waste their energy hating blablabla, but fail to see (or don't want to see) that there's no hate. It's slight disgust. And there's also no wasted energy, it's comments to literally a video about one of those people. A comment. To the video we watch. On topic. And you're babbling about "hating" and "wasting energy". Holy moly, you're well trained. Support them, or don't, no one cares anyway. But this pathetic bs is just sad.
I was in Nordstrom where Kylie Cosmetics was being sold at the time; I’m not sure if they still are sold there. The woman who waited on me said the products are junk, none of the salespeople recommend them, and she was baffled as to why Nordstrom carries them. Maybe the Kardashians paid them? 😂
Hello Alexandria, I recently discovered your hair regrowth journey from last year. As someone struggling with hair loss myself, I was truly disheartened. Seeing your now flawless hair has reignited my hope! Could you kindly share your hair care routine with us?
Well you did it K*lie! You got the one of the most forgiving and sweetest people on the internet heated. Normally, Alexandria is able to find some kind of saving grace with advent calendars (with the exception of Sephora), but K*lie JenJen just HAD to push it. Once again, trying to manifest it, Alexandria should totally do her own advent calendar. I'd buy it SOOOOO FAST!!! Trying to manifest this into existence. You know there would be great quality, well thought out, and well made products.
I usually agree with you about the lip colours not suiting you (because there is a slight to cool tone for your skin), but the first color (if it is in real life, as portrayed on the screen) it.looks amazing!!
@@ToywinsI would be in heaven if I we're her 🥰🌹😍 What can I say I love roses even looking around for a strong perfume where it's top strong note is roses very much rose...
Christmas is never an enjoyable holiday for me. However this advent calendar season is what I look forward to every year. Thank you so much for being such a light in this dark world !
@@kelliwillis417Same thing happened to my grandfather, he got an aneurism in his brain at 68, a week before my birthday and 2 days before Easter and i cant celebrate neither, its just really hard
In my experience Advent calendars have always been gifts you give people vs buying them for yourself. I think that's how they bamboozle ppl. Grandma might go "she likes this makeup stuff" and buy this not realizing it's a ripoff, just because it's easier to get this "gift set" than trying to actually understand or remember what they like.
Actually understanding and remembering what people you don't see everyday, or that are just multiple generations off, is extremely hard. I like many things where I wouldn't even know how my grandparents could buy them, why would I expect them to. Do you expect a person, 50 years older than you (or any person, really) not only know you like gaming (as an example), but also what kind of games, on what platform and which one you'd want right now but don't have already? Ridiculous. Or, in this context, do you expect someone to know your preferred makeup brand, your shades and what products you like? BS. What are your gifts to your grandparents? Good chance that it's either this one thing they always loved and are happy to get every year, since that's how long it lasts them, or it's just random stuff like sweets, knitting needles, whatever, which is as vague as "oh, they like makeup, don't they" and they probably are just happy about it, because they got something from their loved ones.
@@lethfuil It feels like you are projecting a negative interpretation on to my comment. No where in it was I critiquing loved ones ability to remember what a person wants for the holidays, but the predatory manner of these corporations on the naivety of its consumers during this time of year. Pointing out that its easier to have general knowledge of ppls interest and not learn or seek out specialized knowledge is just a fact and not everything has to be an "attack". It really feels like you took this personally and should address that. Have a nice day and happy holidays.
@@YoungAndFacetious This might absolutely be the case. That I misunderstood you. I'd absolutely agree with the predatory part! Just the last one, to me, sounded like a "lazy solution" thing. Which might just be the language barrier, tbh. In that case: Forget what I said. But since I saw this comment (really just now), I'll take the opportunity to add a funfact (since I'm slightly bored and hungry and my dinner will take some time until it's ready. xD): These kinds of advent calendars do puzzle me quite a bit anyway. In my culture advent calendars have a pretty long tradition, but they were never ment as any kind of gift set in that sense, or even just as something where you'd expect a higher value (financially) than you paid. Original advent calendars were reusable every year, they were just numbered doors to open every day, behind every door there was a tiny (wintery/christmasy) painting. Every door was purely a countdown and an everyday gift of more Christmas spirit. Then came the chocolate ones, not fancy chocolate by any means, just a small piece of regular chocolate for every day (usually just stamped with a snowman, a sled, a snowflake etc) and they cost more than the chocolate itself would. Also popular are those that you made yourself, as a gift, in numbered bags/boxes/whatever and the value (financially) if the gifts is just as high as what you've put in there (or less, because of the packaging, but that's usually reused every year). Then now there are sets that'll simply give you something you can't buy otherwise, outside of the calendar (Bluebrixx, a Lego kind of stuff, made one this year than I would have LOVED) and, of course, the predatory (again, I absolutely agree) ones like we see in the videos, that often are a bit like a subscription box, just once a year.
I love it when you get heated about Advent Calendars! Thank you so much for doing these unboxings and exposing the rip offs that many of them are! I love watching your videos!
Okay so I love to follow along and go to the sites and add up all the individual stuff for prices. This one was $213 value (because they sell minis on the kylie skin and the clarifying cleansing gel is sold for $12 ridiculous.) But that given...Its still not giving any value for sure! I absolutely love your content...especially the advent calenders!
I get the Willow & Sage magazine with DIY beauty, skin and home recipes. And they ALWAYS have great lip scrub recipes. Like you said, everything is in your pantry ❤❤❤
Oh! I like the Sassi Alexandria that has shown herself today! Everything you said was spot on and what most sellers have decided to do, is rid themselves of the stuff that isn't selling well and hoping people will forget about how badly they were ripped off!
Not gonna lie, after you shown the pups noise boop… I completely forgot to watch you open an advent calendar and just watched your cutie dogs with a smile on my face!!! I lost my boy far too soon (seven years old) due to health only a few months ago. It’s amazing all your doing and have done for both your furry babies. Your amazing thank you for your videos! Xoxo ❤❤❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😢 Martin Luther once told his beloved dog Dumkoff, "Have no fear little dog for in the Resurrection you too shall have a little golden tail." We'll get to be with our beloved companions again!
I don't know if anyone else noticed, but aside from like maybe one or two products, this calendar is the same exact one from last year. I know this with almost 100% certainty, because I have been rewatching your old advent videos while waiting on the new ones to be released. I think last years did have a lip pencil in it, which I think was replaced with the brown eyeliner. But other than that i'm almost positive the lineup of products is the same exact one from last year. Was hoping you would get better value this year, but i'm not suprised Ms. Kylie doesnt seem to care about value for the consumer. Just value for her wallet.
This has quickly become my favorite viewing time of year. I am here for the salty reviews. Of course it’s great to see the nice calenders, but the horrific ones are immensely more fun to watch. Thank you for keeping it real and making me laugh.♥️🌲♥️
Important question. Where's the fur babies advent calender? Also get the M&S calendar next year, day one of 25 was a clinique lipstick, for a £45 calender! I'm on day 6 and not a hair tie or facemask in sight!
So next season we all have to repeatedly say no KYLIE lol .... Thank God you are so entertaining ...and of course the nose bop was the best thing about this calendar Love ya girl thanks for doing these for us
This is why i love you and love that you do advent calendar reviews. We get to know whats a rip off and what isnt. Thank you for spending your money and telling us your thoughts.
I could feel the heat over here! Can't wait to see what other surprises we see in the next calendar. Will it be a black eyeliner? Clear brow gel? Another clear Kylie lip gloss? The possibilities are endless! 😂
I wore a Kylie lip kit as my wedding lip a month ago. And I have to say I was impressed with it. I really enjoyed it. Now I typically would not support Kylie. But I had just heard so many good reviews and also the color I got was the EXACT color I wanted. And it literally went so well with the entire wedding color scheme!
Lol the Kylie liner that "bubbled" reminds me of the LA Colors liquid liner at Dollar Tree 😂 luxury indeed... (Note: the LA Colors marker/pen style auto liner is actually pretty great, highly recommend the navy version. But the LAC gel & pen liners are crap, much like the Kylie line...at least $1.25 is reasonable for bubbly, uneven, likely-to-peel liner)
I was hoping it would be Kylie! 😂 Also, I’m making a note on my phone of all the red lipsticks Alexandria gets this season. 😂 the end result should be wild 🤣
This is why I continue to watch this series. I love seeing you filled with righteous indignation. Give them hell girl! All the other advent calendar unboxes are so fake with their enthusiasm for this bs but some of these companies stuff into and a half a calendar and pretend is worth the "retail value"
After your community post about raging while making the video, the moment I saw it was the Kylie calendar I started doing a happy dance in my seat! LET’S GOOOOO!
I LOVE irate Alexandria!! You may say "Have a lovely, wonderful, fantastic day" but these companies are out here saying "Have a lousy, worthless, fraudulent December"!
Oh my goodness - I fully admit I hit rewind on this video about 4 times because I was truly interested in what you had to say but I found myself zoning out while watching Tater, especially when he was "fixing" his bed. Those pups are precious! 🐶💗
okay but why is no one talking about how u pulled off those colours beautifully😭 honestly u looked amazing in the lip gloss and lipstick even though you said it looked bad on you💕 i think u pulled it off way better than i EVER could!!!!
You're hillarious! 😂 Thank you for providing us with such good information about these absurdly priced advent calenders so that we never fall into that trap!
Yeaaahhhh I was in HS when it was new and just the “ hey this is what made my (clearly medically altered) lips look 3 times their size! Thing made me disinterested in ever buying it. Ma’am your lips are now bigger than mine and mine are natural.
@@myliza700 Yeah, this alone would put me off from buying anything ever. You actively lie to your costumers (and fans, which makes it extra shady, because of vulnerability) to sell your product? It doesn't even matter if the product needs that kind of help, or if it's just greed. Or not giving a shit, really, if you're just interested in being seen a great. It's an immediate red flag. Some people say "but she was so young, she probably was insecure and didn't know better"... BS. Not only does she have a whole PR team, but if you're letting loose your brand on costumers (and fans) you have a certain responsibility. If you can't do that, because you're too insecure, fine. Then just don't release a brand, no one will be mad because of this.
I am glad that you get angry and sassy about these crappy advent calendars! You should be calling these companies out for their bad business practices and being disappointed by the crappy value, or, lack there of value! More people need to be like you and hold companies accountable! I don’t wanna watch somebody open this and pretend like it’s wonderful when it’s absolutely not! Thank you for sharing the truth with us!
My favorite brand, Kikiz Cosmeticz always shocks me when her glosses show up with no bubble visible(there is an air bubble, it's just at the top, and once you take the wand out you can't see it anymore) But then there was one time I got a clear gloss with a TON of bubbles in it and it looked like a soda and I haven't opened it cuz I like the look of it😂😂
Girl I love you 🤣 you're like the start of the good influencers in 2016 that we fell in love with because they were real 😢❤ you're amazing I'm praying for your successes
@@Jess-beenever fails=always succeeds. So the calendar always succeeds at disappointing. If you add "not" to that, you are saying it always succeeds at being good (not disappointing).
Thank you! This is my issue with advent calendars that offer no real savings; you are basically paying full price for shades or products you may never use! Like 9 times outta 10 you are far better off taking that money you were gonna spend on a mystery box or a calendar and dedicating it to just buying products and shades that work for you.
Honestly, buying last year's calendar on sale seems to be the better value! They made it WORSE this year somehow. At least last year you got a lip liner instead of that pump bottle of cleanser, and there was a 7$ positive value 😅
This is going to be a good one. I'm going to watch it later this evening when I get home from work. Going to need to put together a good snack plate!!!!
I wish companies would understand that when your customer is willing to sacrifice choice, you have to give them something in return. And the only something they can give is value. If you're not giving them at least 33% more, 50% would be better, you need to go back to the drawing board. Advent calendars are an excuse to get rid of product that didn't sell. You have to let your price. And not give 2 products that are basically exactly the same
As soon as I got home from work I got the notification for this video and it made my day! This video did not disappoint, cause we all knew this advent calendar was going to be a wreck. 😂
😅🤣😂😂😂😂😂 I have to say, I definitely come here just to see you roast companies for their advent choices, but dang, kylie is charred after this one, Alexandria. Thank you so much for the laughs on your dime. Be sure to bundle up during that cross country ski trip 😂😂

Grandma might go "she likes this makeup stuff" and buy this not realizing it's a ripoff, just because it's easier to get this "gift set" than trying to actually understand or remember what they like.
100% it’s the next generation of those bath and body works gift baskets with those bath beads I’ve never seen sold individually
Actually understanding and remembering what people you don't see everyday, or that are just multiple generations off, is extremely hard.
I like many things where I wouldn't even know how my grandparents could buy them, why would I expect them to.
Do you expect a person, 50 years older than you (or any person, really) not only know you like gaming (as an example), but also what kind of games, on what platform and which one you'd want right now but don't have already? Ridiculous.
Or, in this context, do you expect someone to know your preferred makeup brand, your shades and what products you like? BS.
What are your gifts to your grandparents? Good chance that it's either this one thing they always loved and are happy to get every year, since that's how long it lasts them, or it's just random stuff like sweets, knitting needles, whatever, which is as vague as "oh, they like makeup, don't they" and they probably are just happy about it, because they got something from their loved ones.
@@lethfuil It feels like you are projecting a negative interpretation on to my comment. No where in it was I critiquing loved ones ability to remember what a person wants for the holidays, but the predatory manner of these corporations on the naivety of its consumers during this time of year. Pointing out that its easier to have general knowledge of ppls interest and not learn or seek out specialized knowledge is just a fact and not everything has to be an "attack". It really feels like you took this personally and should address that. Have a nice day and happy holidays.
@@YoungAndFacetious This might absolutely be the case. That I misunderstood you. I'd absolutely agree with the predatory part! Just the last one, to me, sounded like a "lazy solution" thing.
Which might just be the language barrier, tbh. In that case: Forget what I said.
But since I saw this comment (really just now), I'll take the opportunity to add a funfact (since I'm slightly bored and hungry and my dinner will take some time until it's ready. xD):
These kinds of advent calendars do puzzle me quite a bit anyway. In my culture advent calendars have a pretty long tradition, but they were never ment as any kind of gift set in that sense, or even just as something where you'd expect a higher value (financially) than you paid.
Original advent calendars were reusable every year, they were just numbered doors to open every day, behind every door there was a tiny (wintery/christmasy) painting. Every door was purely a countdown and an everyday gift of more Christmas spirit.
Then came the chocolate ones, not fancy chocolate by any means, just a small piece of regular chocolate for every day (usually just stamped with a snowman, a sled, a snowflake etc) and they cost more than the chocolate itself would.
Also popular are those that you made yourself, as a gift, in numbered bags/boxes/whatever and the value (financially) if the gifts is just as high as what you've put in there (or less, because of the packaging, but that's usually reused every year).
Then now there are sets that'll simply give you something you can't buy otherwise, outside of the calendar (Bluebrixx, a Lego kind of stuff, made one this year than I would have LOVED) and, of course, the predatory (again, I absolutely agree) ones like we see in the videos, that often are a bit like a subscription box, just once a year.
Have never watched anything Kardashian ever! I’m enjoying the validation of that choice with this calendar. ❤
Thank you for doing all the math and showing the items in the cart. Advent calendar season is the best.
I love it when you get heated about Advent Calendars! Thank you so much for doing these unboxings and exposing the rip offs that many of them are! I love watching your videos!
I love when Alexandria gets salty. The whole grumpy is such a vibe. I love she gets mad for us.
Not gonna lie I loved seeing you without makeup in the morning! Even more stunning ❤
Value of Calendar: none Value of puppy nose boops: PRICELESS
Okay so I love to follow along and go to the sites and add up all the individual stuff for prices. This one was $213 value (because they sell minis on the kylie skin and the clarifying cleansing gel is sold for $12 ridiculous.) But that given...Its still not giving any value for sure!
I absolutely love your content...especially the advent calenders!
You are out here working for the people and I love that! Thank you for your service!!!
@@jmeg7412 haha thank you. I do it for fun😆
For someone who doesn’t like wearing bold lip colors, you pull off a red lip so fabulously!!!
I love this channel. It’s one channel where we get an HONEST review!
I get the Willow & Sage magazine with DIY beauty, skin and home recipes. And they ALWAYS have great lip scrub recipes. Like you said, everything is in your pantry ❤❤❤
I would love to see you do a tutorial for a company on how to choose the items they put in an advent calendar.
Oh! I like the Sassi Alexandria that has shown herself today!
Everything you said was spot on and what most sellers have decided to do, is rid themselves of the stuff that isn't selling well and hoping people will forget about how badly they were ripped off!
Not gonna lie, after you shown the pups noise boop… I completely forgot to watch you open an advent calendar and just watched your cutie dogs with a smile on my face!!!
I lost my boy far too soon (seven years old) due to health only a few months ago. It’s amazing all your doing and have done for both your furry babies. Your amazing thank you for your videos! Xoxo ❤❤❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😢
Martin Luther once told his beloved dog Dumkoff, "Have no fear little dog for in the Resurrection you too shall have a little golden tail." We'll get to be with our beloved companions again!
I don't know if anyone else noticed, but aside from like maybe one or two products, this calendar is the same exact one from last year. I know this with almost 100% certainty, because I have been rewatching your old advent videos while waiting on the new ones to be released. I think last years did have a lip pencil in it, which I think was replaced with the brown eyeliner. But other than that i'm almost positive the lineup of products is the same exact one from last year. Was hoping you would get better value this year, but i'm not suprised Ms. Kylie doesnt seem to care about value for the consumer. Just value for her wallet.
In waiting for new ones as well
love how honest you are and the lil unhinged moments. ❤ the little dog boop is cherry on top of this video!
This has quickly become my favorite viewing time of year. I am here for the salty reviews. Of course it’s great to see the nice calenders, but the horrific ones are immensely more fun to watch. Thank you for keeping it real and making me laugh.♥️🌲♥️
Okay but that bright lip colour looks SO GOOD on you! 😍
Important question. Where's the fur babies advent calender?
Also get the M&S calendar next year, day one of 25 was a clinique lipstick, for a £45 calender! I'm on day 6 and not a hair tie or facemask in sight!
love it when Alex serves us math 😍 a woman of the people!
So next season we all have to repeatedly say no KYLIE lol ....
Thank God you are so entertaining ...and of course the nose bop was the best thing about this calendar
Love ya girl thanks for doing these for us
Yes, do NOT get this calendar next year.
This is why i love you and love that you do advent calendar reviews. We get to know whats a rip off and what isnt. Thank you for spending your money and telling us your thoughts.
Aww, the Ren & Tater nose to nose boop 😭 so adorable I could cry
I just love a good rant from you. I've never witnessed anyone else get so angry while smiling the whole time. Absolutely love it!
This gives off the vibe of "I'm a spoiled child, and I think my name written on something is worth at least $50 alone" 😂
I'm so glad she tried that first liquid lip. It's a super flattering shade on her
I could feel the heat over here! Can't wait to see what other surprises we see in the next calendar. Will it be a black eyeliner? Clear brow gel? Another clear Kylie lip gloss? The possibilities are endless! 😂
I wore a Kylie lip kit as my wedding lip a month ago. And I have to say I was impressed with it. I really enjoyed it. Now I typically would not support Kylie. But I had just heard so many good reviews and also the color I got was the EXACT color I wanted. And it literally went so well with the entire wedding color scheme!
What color was it? And congrats! How exciting!
Lol the Kylie liner that "bubbled" reminds me of the LA Colors liquid liner at Dollar Tree 😂 luxury indeed... (Note: the LA Colors marker/pen style auto liner is actually pretty great, highly recommend the navy version. But the LAC gel & pen liners are crap, much like the Kylie line...at least $1.25 is reasonable for bubbly, uneven, likely-to-peel liner)
Starting my advent marathon of your videos
I was hoping it would be Kylie! 😂
Also, I’m making a note on my phone of all the red lipsticks Alexandria gets this season. 😂 the end result should be wild 🤣
Im expecting a report at the end of the season 🙌
@@KayMarieClair will do! 😂
I'm all for Sassy Advent calendar Alexandria.
"I'M GETTING THE CALCULATOR" needs to be a sticker
This is why I continue to watch this series. I love seeing you filled with righteous indignation. Give them hell girl! All the other advent calendar unboxes are so fake with their enthusiasm for this bs but some of these companies stuff into and a half a calendar and pretend is worth the "retail value"
After your community post about raging while making the video, the moment I saw it was the Kylie calendar I started doing a happy dance in my seat! LET’S GOOOOO!
The Kardashians continue to give us a hot mess no matter what they do. #Consistency
#Konsistency
@@kasie1737 🤣😂🤣 OMG we do have to stay on brand!!! 🤣😂
Haha #brandawareness
I love when you break down the prices
I LOVE irate Alexandria!!
You may say "Have a lovely, wonderful, fantastic day" but these companies are out here saying "Have a lousy, worthless, fraudulent December"!
Oh my goodness - I fully admit I hit rewind on this video about 4 times because I was truly interested in what you had to say but I found myself zoning out while watching Tater, especially when he was "fixing" his bed. Those pups are precious! 🐶💗
The boys booping noses with each other made me so happy 😊
is anyone else living for how much Wren and Tatum love each other? like i'm living for it! and it brings a highlight to an already amazing video:]
Hear me out.. I know that you're uncomfortable with brighter shades.. but wow. It does look fantastic on you!!
okay but why is no one talking about how u pulled off those colours beautifully😭 honestly u looked amazing in the lip gloss and lipstick even though you said it looked bad on you💕 i think u pulled it off way better than i EVER could!!!!
I know you said you don't like the bright matte lipsttick but honestly you are rocking it!
Your little peanut loves his older brother so so much it is so sweet❤❤❤
You're hillarious! 😂
Thank you for providing us with such good information about these absurdly priced advent calenders so that we never fall into that trap!
Love love love your saltiness with this one! I would never get it but it's fun to watch you react ❤😂
Seeing the twins was very needed ❤ I’m glad you all are okay and hopefully you’ll continue to post! Those who want to watch will stay ❤
We need doggo advent calendars like last year! At least then there's no dissapointment from the boys 😂
Your rants are my FAVORITE!
Buying Kyle's Cosmetics never made sense. So I'm not surprised 😂
Yeaaahhhh I was in HS when it was new and just the “ hey this is what made my (clearly medically altered) lips look 3 times their size! Thing made me disinterested in ever buying it. Ma’am your lips are now bigger than mine and mine are natural.
@@myliza700 Yeah, this alone would put me off from buying anything ever. You actively lie to your costumers (and fans, which makes it extra shady, because of vulnerability) to sell your product?
It doesn't even matter if the product needs that kind of help, or if it's just greed. Or not giving a shit, really, if you're just interested in being seen a great.
It's an immediate red flag.
Some people say "but she was so young, she probably was insecure and didn't know better"... BS. Not only does she have a whole PR team, but if you're letting loose your brand on costumers (and fans) you have a certain responsibility. If you can't do that, because you're too insecure, fine. Then just don't release a brand, no one will be mad because of this.
I am glad that you get angry and sassy about these crappy advent calendars! You should be calling these companies out for their bad business practices and being disappointed by the crappy value, or, lack there of value! More people need to be like you and hold companies accountable! I don’t wanna watch somebody open this and pretend like it’s wonderful when it’s absolutely not! Thank you for sharing the truth with us!
My favorite brand, Kikiz Cosmeticz always shocks me when her glosses show up with no bubble visible(there is an air bubble, it's just at the top, and once you take the wand out you can't see it anymore)
But then there was one time I got a clear gloss with a TON of bubbles in it and it looked like a soda and I haven't opened it cuz I like the look of it😂😂
Girl I love you 🤣 you're like the start of the good influencers in 2016 that we fell in love with because they were real 😢❤ you're amazing I'm praying for your successes
This calendar never fails to disappoint. 😂 Thanks for buying this so we don't have to...
It never fails to NOT disappoint, by the sounds of it haha
@@Jess-beenever fails=always succeeds. So the calendar always succeeds at disappointing. If you add "not" to that, you are saying it always succeeds at being good (not disappointing).
Thank you! This is my issue with advent calendars that offer no real savings; you are basically paying full price for shades or products you may never use! Like 9 times outta 10 you are far better off taking that money you were gonna spend on a mystery box or a calendar and dedicating it to just buying products and shades that work for you.
"Half a coconut and a bowling ball" Best description of a lip product ever! 😂 This is why I can never get enough advent unboxings!❤😊
I love you and your rants. Please don't ever change.
Honestly, buying last year's calendar on sale seems to be the better value! They made it WORSE this year somehow. At least last year you got a lip liner instead of that pump bottle of cleanser, and there was a 7$ positive value 😅
That doggy boop 🥰🥰 did I rewatch that multiple times? Yes😁😁
I love a good Alexandria rant! 😂
Me too! It was well deserved too!
Yep! Those Sephora Advent calendars are looking like the better value.
This is going to be a good one. I'm going to watch it later this evening when I get home from work. Going to need to put together a good snack plate!!!!
I love Advent Calendar Season! Love how firey this one is. So good and so many GREAT POINTS! Ty!!!!
I wish companies would understand that when your customer is willing to sacrifice choice, you have to give them something in return. And the only something they can give is value. If you're not giving them at least 33% more, 50% would be better, you need to go back to the drawing board. Advent calendars are an excuse to get rid of product that didn't sell. You have to let your price. And not give 2 products that are basically exactly the same
Genuinely love seeing you go off about the value of products. 💖
As soon as I got home from work I got the notification for this video and it made my day! This video did not disappoint, cause we all knew this advent calendar was going to be a wreck. 😂
Advent calendar unboxing season is my favourite time of the year!
😅🤣😂😂😂😂😂 I have to say, I definitely come here just to see you roast companies for their advent choices, but dang, kylie is charred after this one, Alexandria. Thank you so much for the laughs on your dime. Be sure to bundle up during that cross country ski trip 😂😂
That one goes right up there with the emphasis CHANEL calander.
I saw the thumbnail and my imediate reaction was "OMG the calendars have given her a head injury" but luckily that isn't the case 😂
4:19, cutest thing everrrrrr 🐾💖
Add this to the long and ever growing list of why I avoid anything and everything Kardashian.
I'm binge watching old advant calendar videos, getting ready for this year's advent season
Love advent season 🎉
